srobb11 Oct 19, 2010 This link has an excellent post from Daytonite regarding a care plan for dementia. Although this is addressing a more specific situation than you provided, it should be very helpful to direct and assist you in your plan. Good luck.https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/nursing-care-plans-416135.html 0 Likes
